To be honest, it looks to me as if you could just grow your natural hair and achieve that look.
Its VERY hard to tell anything from your pictures.
Because your eyebrows aren't included, I can't really judge your level of recession.

But if it HAS receded and therefore a front partial would be suitable, then I've heard many wearers say that its actually more difficult applying a small or narrow partial (and keeping it attached) than it is replacing a larger area.
So you may be reluctant to shave any hair, but you could also be making life/wearing more difficult for yourself.
